These are probably the most terrifing pictures I've ever seen. The sheer power of this is just mind boggling. Mother nature is really playing up recently. I fear there is going to be more casualties than the tsunami of a few years ago.

OMG!! I feel so bad for everyone. I just called my Family in California and woke everyone up it's 5am there but I was worried about them. They were sleeping so they knew nothing about the TSUNAMI headed towards the west coast. They are near Chrissy's home. Chrissy How Are You????

was shocked to hear what has been going on when I get in late last night...

Southern California is braced and ready for the first of 2 waves the largest to be about 7 ft...So it will cause flooding but they are not evacuating which is good. My brother lives a block from the beach in Ventura so he is keeping me updated and the coast gaurd said they are safe to stay.....

The warning for California is farther North from us so I am grateful for that and praying for everyone to just get through this so safely. Those poor people in Japan....that earthquake lasted for 5 min!!!!! I can't even fathum what that was like and I've been through a huge one.....

Just watched some footage of people queueing up orderly to buy their supplies in a shop that's in virtual darkness because of power cuts. Can you imaging that happening here ?? All the chavs would be rushing in grabbing what they could and running out again !!

Oh dear. Looks like the early reports of no major loss of life were a bit premature. Truely shocking pictures.

And thats Japan for you! They still have respect whereas our chavs have none.

Well, Japan has been well and truely hammered. Just as well they have high building codes or this could have been so much worse. Seems it's the tsunami that caused most of the damage and been responcible for most of the deaths.

But, yes, that nuclear power plant looks to be in trouble. Let's hope they manage to control it. Just goes to show though that no matter what you plan for sometimes you just can't plan for the unexpected.

No matter how crap or how hard done by we feel. No matter how much we think that life has shat on us. No matter how shit our job is or wish we had more money. We have F*** all to moan about when you think of what these people are going through at the moment.

Very, very true.

Ditto.

There is one thing that I do like about the UK...we are not on a fault line and our natural disasters pale in comparisom to others around the world. Yes, we have flooding, and I don't mean to down playing the effects that this has had on those it affected, but I have not seen entire buildings being flattened by tsunamis and 10,000 people unaccounted for in one area alone.

There was an earthquake in the West Midlands a few years ago and a few roof tiles fell off. Christchurch gets flattened.

I live in the land of earthquakes and ours seem like nothing compared to these countries....I am stunned at the loss and so impressed by the spirit and composure of these people..We have so much to learn from them...
